Abstract: Systems and methods for instituting redistribution of wireless clients to improve service, comprising via access point (AP), multiple APs acting in concert, and/or a central entity, in connection with a network, allowing a client to associate; deciding that an associated client should be redistributed based on a connection metric, wherein the decision is based on at least one of, a probability calculation, network metric and a threshold comparison; and via the AP, sending the associated client a trigger, wherein the trigger is at least one of, a redistribution request and a disconnect message.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for obtaining downlink or uplink signal characteristics of at least one access point in a network. The signal characteristics may be obtained through user equipment receiving the signal characteristics, through the at least one access point, or through another access point. Frequency or timing offset between two or more access points may be determined based on the obtained signal characteristics, where the frequency or timing offset may be handled through post processing. For example, a clock servo may be controlled or adjusted in response to the determined offset, the absolute frequency of a master network oscillator may be calibrated, traffic anomalies within the network may be detected and corrected, and/or respective clocks of the two or more access points may be synchronized.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for assigning channels in a spatial division multiple access communication network. The network includes a plurality of conventional channels some of which are configurable to be shared concurrently by plural subscribers. The method includes determining combinations of subscribers from the existing subscribers. Enhancement activities are invoked to create optimal combinations of existing subscribers. Existing subscribers are reassigned as necessary to share channels thereby freeing resources for new subscribers.
